Blindness-Personal Narrative
It started out as any other normal day. Except for one thing. "Plop". A blob of white, slimy goo fell onto the side of my bed. I look up, half expecting to see some sort of monster, drooling all over me. Instead I see a ceiling covered in goo. "Plop". This time it falls onto my face. Gross. I quickly roll out of my bed, and grab my shoes. By the time I am done with that, the atrocious liquid is spewing down my walls. "Mom!" I yell. I wait for a response but no one answers. I call for my mom three more times but receive no reply. I decide to go check the kitchen where I can usually find my parents on a Saturday morning. Still, there is no one. I go up and check their room, still no one. I try the front and back yard, but no luck. By this …show more content…
Creek. The door opened a crack, but there was an absence of people. "Hello?", I said. I tip toed into the main corridor and looked around. Nothing was out of place or missing, except for humans. I then tried all the neighbors on my street, and the next. At this point I was terrified, and did not think it could get any worse, but it did. All of a sudden, the same goo that I had seen in my room earlier, started falling out of the sky. It started off as a light drizzle, and turned into a massive pour. I looked up towards the sky just in time to see a giant spaceship landing a few hundred feet down the road. I paced back and forth, contemplating my next move. I chose to get a better look, and raced towards the mysterious object. Just as I arrived, the door on the space ship inched open. I stepped back to let whatever was in there out. "Greetings, fellow earthling", it said. "I have come to tell you that you are needed for a very important experiment." The green, one-eyed figure then stepped aside and pulled out one of my good friends from school, Tommy Davis. I gasped in horror. In a quick, and precise movement, they placed Tommy in a machine that made a disturbing sound. He was lifted off the ground, and his scream was …show more content…
The same white goo I had seen earlier, in place of Tommy. My first instinct was to run, and I would have, if not that two aliens were already guiding me to the rocket ship. Inside, I immediately recognized students, teachers, coaches, and even neighbors. I could not seem to find my parents, which made think that they were the goo in my room earlier. at this point, I was very sad, tired, and scared. I watched people after people transform, each time getting scarier. I did not know when they would get to me, or if they would get to me. But I did know one thing, my life was about to change forever.

    My insider/outsider partner was Alicia Garcia. As you can tell by her last name she is Hispanic. I don’t have many Hispanic friends and I am not use to their culture. Starting on the project Alicia told me a little a bit about her heritage. One of the things I asked her was, “Do you celebrate the day of the dead?” I know that might seem like a crazy question to ask, but I the only thing that I truly knew about her culture is what I seen on TV. Alicia said that they do celebrate it to some extent. They don’t actually go to a grave site and light candles for their fallen relatives, but instead have a feast in honor of them. Alicia is the first generation American Hispanic.…

    There has been many cases in which I have helped an outsider feel welcome. One time in particular is when I played tag with this little boy at church since he was new and no one else played with him. Originally, I was outside eating candy and talking to my friends at church. I noticed that this little boy was standing all alone watching all the other little kids play without him. I thought that maybe he was upset so I went over to him and asked if he wanted the rest of my gummy worms. He seemed nervous at first, but eventually he started talking to me. I learned that he was five years old and he was visiting his grandparents for the weekend. His older brother was outside playing basketball with some of the other older boys at the church, and…

    As I look to the scenery I acknowledge its beautiful details. It is a wonder of the world that soon may fell between the cracks. A place that I will cherish all my life, a place that is one of a kind. Two hundred places I’ve seen only once. Vivid in my memory for a few years and but soon may be forgotten. But this did not. It will remain in me forever, and as scroll up it reached the end. The end of my photo album I have in my phone last summer vacation I had with my…

    My mother, sister, and I were driving down Highway 124 on a hot July day when my mom screamed and slammed on the breaks. Fear rushed through our bodies. Outside the car window, a short young African American man was launched into the air. As he came down, a loud boom sounded as his body helplessly rolled off the hood of the faint green Toyota Corolla in front of us. The man lay motionless in the road while we waited for what seemed like hours for the driver to exit the car. His red shirt and gym shorts were ripped. The driver of the opposing car threw the vehicle in reverse in a spasmodic action in an attempt to end the man’s life. The injured man made an effort to crawl onto the Wendy’s sidewalk, forcing his body up on the curb to evade the car. The driver drove up onto the curb and blew its tire, just barely missing the wounded man. Realizing the driver would stop at nothing, my mother drove her white suburban in front of the car, blocking the violent perpetrator from doing any further damage.…

    A proverb in the Bible says, “Where there is no vision, the people perish.” This has become very meaningful to me as I consider the importance of college, and what I hope to do after college. The word “vision” is defined as a supernatural appearance that surveys a revelation. After reading “The Country of The Blind” and reflecting back on my life, I realized that I am who I am mostly because of the environment I grew up in. One of the most important applications of vision for me has been in my personal education. Right when I was able to run and jump, I followed my mother everywhere she went, most of the time unwanted.…

    Then a tall homeless man with a dirty gray cap, big scary eyes, and dirty torn clothes, then stared at my cousins and I. He suddenly turned behind our backs and started to follow us without our knowledge for a moment until we couldn’t see anything but the sun and the sound of cars around us, it was like he was invisible, suddenly he jumped behind us and sprayed us with some type of mist that made us all fall to the ground. A few minutes later, when we opened our eyes, we found ourselves near a big garbage can with no one around us we were clueless. There we saw a small sticky note that was stuck to the side of the garbage…

    Finally, when I moved to New Orleans I started volunteer work at the Children’s Hospital and helped with pop up clinics for the Latino community twice. Overall I found that helping others shouldn't be something seen as duty or mandatory, it should be spontaneous. Through others experiences and hardships we learn and grow as human beings, not only did I enjoy helping others but I felt that it helped me with my problems. Having moved around so much and meet so many people and living by myself so many years I came to truly be thankful for my blessings and specially for my hardships. Hermann Hesse once said, "I have always believed, and I still believe, that whatever good or bad fortune may come our way we can always give it meaning and transform it into something of value." Helping others made me realize that we all need help and that my way to help others would be through their health. It also taught me not to judge anybody, especially if you don't know what they have been through. I am hard believer that everything happens for a reason, and all the weekends I spend watching my parents help others helping others myself made me the determined person that I am today. Finally, the most important lesson I learned was to never give up, no matter how hard the task is or how bad the problem is there will always be someone willing to help and you can always be both sides to that, the helper or the one who needs…

    Sadly a requirement to see if I needed to get glasses. We got to the program and it was my turn to go up to the stand and read the letters and numbers on the wall, i covered my weaker eye first then my stronger eye. Even though i was a little bit scared i was confident that my eyesight would be fine but that thought shattered when i got my results back, i got the devastating news that i needed glasses. I was looking back on how i probably destroyed my eyesight and i figured it out, my friend lending me his glasses before so i can see what they felt like, even though i couldn't see out of them i stupidly decided to keep them on. One of the teachers warned me after that whole situation that if i wore those glasses again they would mess up my eyesight, i chose the wrong path and decided to keep on wearing them though. “ ….. DANG IT DANNY!!!”…
